Hobgoblins

6/23/25:

The thought occurred to me that the Democrats cannot do a better job of promoting Trump than what they are doing.

Trump announces Cease-fire in the Iran-Israel war. Our part in it was supposed to cause another trillion dollar boondoggle of nation building. But that hasn't happened, and won't happen. The hobgoblin is the non-stop opposition to anything that makes sense, especially if it is promoted by the Orange Man Bad.

The end of the nuclear missile ambitions of the ayatollas seems like a no-brainer. Why would anybody oppose that? But there are those who will oppose it on the basis of some sort of "principle" which has no evidence in reality. I'm writing this poorly, and words are failing me lately. Basically, the left is opposing Trump just to be opposing him. Fellow GOP'ers are joining in on some notion that this military operation is a bad thing, which does not make a whole lot of sense once you consider the benefits. I suppose the idea is that we all must suffer a lot of nonsense in order to be good people. Balderdash!

Seems like there is this quote out there that says something to the effect that a "foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds." That correlates into the latest blurb I've seen on the web about the big miss on the employment report. The blurb said that the White House thinks that this is evidence of not enough spending.

That is enough to gobsmack Godzilla. Not enough spending?! Yeah, it qualifies as a real live hobgoblin. If these small minded people think that there's not enough spending, then who or what can say otherwise?

Fact, evidence, reason are all going out the window. Full blown insanity has taken over. The big question is this: how long are they going to be allowed to do this before somebody puts their foot down?

If the Liz Cheney types want to let go on this way, there may not be anything left before the sanity resumes.

Message to liberals: If you thought that a million jobs were going to be created in April, but it was only one quarter that, it may be time to rethink your plans. You'd think. Time to shake free of the Hobgoblins.
